Exceptionally clean and cute with 2 Queen Bedrooms

Photo gallery for Exceptionally clean and cute with 2 Queen Bedrooms

The full kitchen leads directly onto the screened-in porch. Kitchen Island from the dining table hand made by our neighbor, a talented woodworker. All the cooking space, utensils, cookware, and everything else you need, right there.
Welcome to the Guest House. Open floor concept plan, everything is located in one bright, loft-like room. Dining table is directly across from the kitchen island.
The Guest House! Located in Wells New York, one block away from Lake Algonquin on the Sacandaga River, in the Adirondack State Park. Two bedrooms with one full bath upstairs, and an open floor plan living area with a porch downstairs.
The shingles of Guest House are an interesting grey that looks blue in some light and brown in another. We love the lemon yellow of the door and the red roof!
Another view through the living room, showing a little more of the kitchen and out onto the spacious porch. Note the pine shiplap painted white. The whole house is like this.

Cute and comfortable cottage

My friend and I stayed in this cottage in September and it was exceptionally cute and cozy. It had everything we needed in the bathroom and kitchen. The beds were so comfortable and the bedding and pillows were perfect! The location was great. Right by Lake Algonquin and nearby several small villages. The owners suggestions were very helpful. We loved the pizza at Oxbow Inn. We also loved the lobster roll at The Local Dining and Spirits in Northville. Had a fun outing in North Creek at the Hudson River Trading Co. and The Barking Soider. The hiking was great. We had a fabulous week!!

Elegant, immaculate, blissfully comfortable beds & pillows

The Guest House has raised the bar for accommodations in the ADKs! I really don't want the word to get out about this very elegant, comfortable place, but I have to give credit to David & Maura for creating a guest home that goes beyond. As others have said, the house is immaculate, including the screened-in porch. We just returned from 3 nights in the midst of this suffocating heat. The Guest House was a cool haven with a window AC unit in the master bedroom and a large ceiling fan in each bedroom. Another AC window unit cooled the downstairs. The beds & pillows were blissfully comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need for your stay. The location is great for exploring Wells, Speculator, Piseco, etc. The house is decorated with each piece of art, mirror, etc., thoughtfully chosen and placed. Truly a special place, we're looking forward to return visits.

Cozy farm house in quite lake town

Beautifully renovated little farm house in quite adorable lake town in the Adirondacks. Extremely clean and very cozy/comfortable. Screened in porch was perfect for morning coffee and breakfast. Hosts provided lots of good local info. Love that it was pet friendly.

Charming House

This house was exactly as advertised, and more! Extremely clean, comfortable and perfectly decorated, with thought and care for guests. All you need is included with this property, including contact with the owner, who was completely available (not that we needed anything)! This location is quiet yet close to so many places to see. The fall in this area is incredible! I would definitely stay here again!

Great place to unwind!

We just spent four days (early August 2022) at the Guest House. It is clear that lots of work went into making the house as comfortable as possible: excellent, comfortable beds in both bedrooms; lots of comfortable seating in the living room and on the screened in porch; the best-equipped kitchen we have seen in a rental; lots of well-chosen books to peruse, ... We enjoyed several nature walks, daily swims at the nearby town beach, and quiet evenings having dinner on the porch. A great place to slow down and relax!

Great Property

This was a great property for us to jump off from for three days of hiking in the southern park. Plenty of trails in the area kept us busy. The full kitchen and toasty heat was great to get in from the cold. Nice property. We would stay again.

Lovely Stay!

This home is absolutely beautiful — light, airy, cozy. We were staying in Wells for an Adirondack wedding, and it was absolutely perfect. It had everything we needed. Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen. Communication with Maura was very easy throughout — friendly, detailed, responsive. Highly recommend!
